I want to display images in the details section of my report. These images exist either on the web at wwww.mydomain.com/mypic.jpg or on our internal network at \\server\computer\folder\mypic.jpg .

I can get the either one of those paths into my dataset as a string.

How can I get that image to appear when I run the report?

Thanks for the reply.

Adding images to a Reporting Services report is easy, just drop the image control onto the report and you get a nice wizard that gives you the four options (project, embedded, web, database) for sourcing the image


I don't have 4 options. Only 3 (Embedded, Project, Database).

I'm running SQL 2000. VS.net2003 if it makes a difference.

How would I find out?

I seen this before. It exists in 2005 but not sure if 2003. I first looked at the BOL and found them as always unhelpful. Not sure if it's me but I have a hard time finding good info on BOL.

Is it me or do you find the SSRS BOL hard to navigate and short on answers?

Well I went to BOL and from the link it says...

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa237969(SQL.80).aspx

I should have the the 4th option, but I don't.

It really is frustrating.
